MCTC is a very diverse school, so if you do have a chance to be on campus often, it could be a great way to meet new people and learn about new cultures.

Right behind the Minneapolis Community and Technical College is Loring park where you can always go for a stroll with your friends. Or you can walk/hop on a city bus and head downtown to the watch shows, eat, and shop. You can also get on the light rail from downtown and head to the Mall of America.
